ATTENTION: temporary detour from Puits de Bacchus in Botozel, following signs for "des Malods" then "La Tuilière".
As you climb to Mont Tournier, take in the breathtaking views from the belvederes overlooking the Rhône. This forested mountain also holds many secrets from the past. Step into the shoes of the knights who watched over the Rhone from the ancient lookout posts. Can you spot the cave in the forest where the first settlers lived? On the gently sloping return journey, the scenery opens out onto lush green countryside dotted with tiered villages overlooking the Yenne plain.
But be careful! In the Glaize woods, the route crosses private property. The owner graciously authorizes your passage. We therefore ask you to respect the following rules: do not stray from the marked path, do not make fires, do not leave garbage, do not camp, and do not harm the fauna, flora, livestock or crops.
